Welcome to the Earth Interbeing Food Commons Workbook
The direction of the current global corporate food system causes the need for this workbook, written for people wanting to both transform our food system and to overcome the great harms the global corporate food system inflicts on people, other life, and the Earth. We need a food system that meets the needs of the hungry, protects the right to grow food, preserves cultural diversity, and restores our wholeness with the Earth and all life. Throughout this workbook, we will highlight the deep changes needed in our Western beliefs and views for a commoned food system to emerge, a transformation already in process.
